Shortly before the outbreak of” the

FARM CALENDAR
Protect the Bees—To encourage
early spring brood rearing, it is nec-
essary to maintain a temperature of
about 93 degrees Fahrenheit in the
entire brood chamber. Protection
from the cold and winds can be sup-
plied by packing cases and wind-
breaks. The protection should not be
removed until after the last killing
frost.
Do not Pasture too Soon—Do not
turn cows out to pasture too soon, say
Penn ‘State dairy specialists. Early
pasture grass is very watery and so
is of low food value. Another reason
for delaying is that pasture yields for
the season will be much greater if
the grass is permitted to get a good
start.
Gardens Need Lime—Lime should
be applied to the garden soil, since
few vegetables produce good crops on
acid soil. Application may be made
just after the garden has been plow-
ed. Many successful gardeners apply
lime every three years, at the rate of
one ton of ground limestone per acre
or one pound to 20 square feet.
Clean Feed Promotes Health—
Clean feed is essential in producing
healthy chicks. All feed should be
fed in troughs or hoppers. This
practice may reduce the spread of
coccidiosis, round worms, and tape-
worms, as most diseases are intro-
duced through the digestive tract.
Change Strawberry Mulch—Inspect
the strawberries under mulch to see
if the plants are becoming discolored.
If the mulch is too thick some of it
should be removed and the rest stir-
red. This will permit better aeration
and will give the plants a chance to
part of the straw into the space be-
tween the rows will retard weed
growth and later will add humus to
the soil.
HIGHER EDUCATION
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Approximately 48.3 per cent of the
40,000 graduates of Pennsylvania,
high schools for 1927-28 are contin-
uing their education, according to the
State Department of Public Instruc-
tion; of this number, about 26.8 per
cent have entered higher institutions,
12.9 per cent are in teacher training
schools, 4 per cent in nurse training
schools, 3.6 per cent have entered
commercial schools and 1 per cent are
taking post graduate courses in the
high schools. It is estimated that 8.5
per cent of the class of 1928 have re-
mained at home and no record is giv-
en for 8.9 per cent of those graduat-
ing. The remainder are engaged in
commercial pursuits, agriculture, fac-
tory work, trade or other occupations;
the number of graduates of public
high schools in Pennsylvania has
more than doubled during the past
eight years, increasing from 18,796 in
1920, to approximately 40,000 in 1923.
Woman’s Missionary Society
